Tips & Best Practices
Multiplication and Division have equal priority and are solved Left-to-Right.
Addition and Subtraction also have equal priority and follow the Left-to-Right rule.
Parentheses, Brackets, and Braces all serve the same grouping purpose in this solver.
A factorial (e.g., 5!) multiplies a number by every whole number below it (5x4x3x2x1).
Did you know? PEMDAS is mostly used in the US, while BODMAS is standard in the UK, India, and Australia.
Common Questions
What is BODMAS/PEMDAS?
BODMAS and PEMDAS are acronyms used to help people remember the order of operations in mathematics. BODMAS stands for Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction. PEMDAS stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction.
Are BODMAS and PEMDAS different?
Mathematically, they are the same. Division and Multiplication have equal priority (solved left to right), as do Addition and Subtraction. The different names simply reflect regional terminology (e.g., Parentheses vs. Brackets).
How does the step-by-step solver work?
The solver identifies the highest priority operations according to the selected rule, calculates them, and then updates the expression. This process repeats until a single value remains, showing you every transformation along the way.
